Maybe they were looking for a “type” and he filled the bill. But, I get what you’re saying. I’ve thought about it many times for many roles. What I find impressive, though, is the fact that Koji has performed on the stages of many of London’s theaters.

That’s impressive for sure. Again, I am just picky about authenticity. Making the characters more believable.
how much minutes of this show are NOT KI?or is it rather seconds?
the nun wearing an old russian cold-coat?
The zombie orchestra was hilarious! That’s some great humor! Not enough of that in these walking dead shows.
So far, so good. Seems to be TWD with more depth. Still not clear what the “burning dead”/acid touch thing is about. Would like to get some clarity on how that is possible or why.
It looks like this series has been cancelled too. That’s too bad. I really liked it.
I thought this was great, honestly. I came for The Flash but got so much more. The humor and storyline were on point. It was actually one of the best DCU films to come out. Considering how many bad ones there have been, that’s a positive in my book.
Major plot hole in this episode:
They never clearly explained if it was an aerosolized gas that was causing hallucinations or not. If it was, how it was delivered? How did it get in the lab? How did it get into the home of the young man? They only vaguely and quickly surmised that it was released via pressure plates at the hollow, but nothing more.
Not bad at all. Kind of a cross between Fantasy Island and SG1 Brief Candle.
This movie was REALLY bad. The logic of this plot is completely messed up. Why would you go to the future to save the past? And why couldn’t they find an actor who’s not such a simpering crybaby?
I hope they renew the show. It is unique and though-provoking…which, based on TV history, means they’ll cancel it.
Thorette and the screaming goat-boat. It wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. Maybe going in with low expectations made it half-way decent.
One of the best/most underrated TV shows in a long time. I was very sad to see it end.
If you’ve seen any of Liam’s other various tough guy movies, Then you’ve seen this one too. Not really worth 2 hours of your time. 2.5/5
These weird sensor readings make me think they are dealing with some sort of object that is distorting space-time, like a vortex of some kind.
I don’t know how or why this series was so popular. Maybe I’m just the wrong generation for it. This acting is wooden, the plot is shallow and boring, and the “heroes” are what anyone older than 13 would recognise as simply normal functioning people. Maybe this series is meant as an after-school special for coming of age pre-teens.
Can someone explain to me why they chose to use a Japanese actor for the role of a Chinese immigrant? Certainly there are excellent Chinese actors skilled in kungfu that could do this role. I’m not trying to make any racial issue out of it, but I cannot be the only one who can tell the difference between Asian people. To make a film or show more believable and get the audience more emotionally invested in the story, I think it is important to make the characters believable. I have the same issues with all the fake Germans, Russians, etc. that Hollywood uses instead of hiring native speakers. But that is another story.
Barely watchable. Terrible acting. It’s like a low-budget version of LOST.
This movie was good in that it is a good teachable moment. Too many urbanites think they are going to go off-grid and be the next Grizzly Adams and end up starving to death or getting killed, because they don’t know what the heck they’re doing. Mother Nature is unforgiving.
I really wanted to like this, but I guess I was hoping for more scifi/tech, rather than Millennial angst, Nordic noir via SFC, using androgynous characters. The series takes itself way too seriously and came across as tedious, pretentious, and an excuse to push neo-hippie music.
Jack Bannon has a certain flair about him, very similar to Sean Connery back in the 60s.
As much as I absolutely LOVE this miniseries, it has aged too much, being imbued too deeply by the interesting yet ephemeral disco era. I am still waiting, decades now, for a proper re-make to be done, hopefully in a way that will be more timeless.
Not saying you’re wrong, he did great in this one, but have watched every single Stargate episode there is, of every incarnation since it started, and even though at first the guy (McKay) did grate on my nerves a bit, he actually did grow on me, and then after a while, once I started to get to know him, as the person he was (as he was portrayed in the show, and why he was the way he was, and that actually sorta came out eventually if you pay attention), he really did grow on me.
Bottom line for me was, despite everything, over time, he really did become a real part of the team, and actually did feel for the other members, and really did show true loyalty for the other members. Took him a bit to get there, but he DID get there. Was still a bit of a ‘Richard’, but he was a ‘team’ Richard!🤣
OK, good to know. I haven’t gotten any farther than this point, so that gives me good vibes to keep going with the series. Someone told me that Stargate Universe is not good at all, but I’ve never looked. What’s your opinion on that?
While I’m thrilled to see this series take off again, I am a little disappointed in the new characters. Most of them just have kind of boring personalities and have conversation that is not engaging. If you watch the original series, the characters were funny, zippy, edgy, and the whole atmosphere was more energetic. This is a bit of a slog to watch.
Elementary school humor, but if you have nothing better to do some evening, it provides some entertainment.
This is not true about the Janissaries. The were Balkan children kidnapped by the Ottoman Turks and forced to conver to Islam and become Sultan’s private army and to also go back into the Balkans and kill their former Christian compatriots. It’s a horrible chapter of European history.
I saw this brilliant film when it first came out. I hope someone can find links to it.
Watchable, but yet another uninspiring grrl pwr rehash, heavily stealing plot points from the older franchise, while imbuing it with even more plot holes and boring dialogue. It doesn’t really carry the franchise storyline any farther and is just a CGI fest. Regrettably very forgettable. 4/10.
Not bad, honestly. It has the same sort of clipped, noir, edgy style as the Resident Evil series.
Great movies with this off-color humor like this masterpiece just couldn’t be made anymore today. Mel Brooks even stated the same thing.
I really wanted to like this movie, but it was just BORING. The life and personality of Padre Pio is poorly explained or developed and the film seemed more focused on some half-baked back story about Communism. The best part of the film was the scenery.
Statham saved this hot garbage from being a mere 1/5. I don’t know where they find these D-list actors and script writers, but this was just terrible. Is Statham hurting that bad for money?
Finally good episode that lives up to the quality of the original series.
I hope someone find the links to this series. I look forward to watching it.
Couldn’t they find one single Norwegian-American actor to fill this role…I mean someone believable? And an Indian actress as a State Department employee…instead of someone without even an American accent? Time to stop ruining movies with characters that don’t fit the roles. It distracts from the story.
Why did they not just crawl through the holes in the cage? A small bear could have fit through those gaps.
